The diagram below shows an experiment to study the transport system in a plant.
The swollen part of the bark above the ringed stem is caused by
-
- deposit of nitrogenous wastes from the plant.
-
- deposit of food to be transported down from the leaves.
-
- accumulation of water that cannot be transported down to the roots.
-
- the growing of special cells for storing excess mineral salts of the plant.
